THURS. APRIL 7 @ 7PM:  Join us for our first live event in more than two years as we welcome back poet Joan Barasovska to celebrate her new collection. The poems in Carrying Clare carry the reader from a mother’s first pregnancy to her daughter’s own first pregnancy. From the mother’s honest, loving point of view, we learn the bravery required to raise a child whose early life is compromised by a serious medical problem.

SAT. APRIL 16 @ 2PM:  Bring the kids! Local artist Barbara Chotiner is the illustrator of a lovely new children's book and she'll be signing copies and answering questions about her process. 
 
MOVING WORDS ABOUT A FLOWER is the inspiring story of a dandelion that survives against all odds, ingeniously told through shape poems (also called "concrete poems") full of visual surprises. When it rains, letters fall from the sky; and when seeds scatter, words FLY!
